@bchesky We often decide on an Airbnb with a friend group, but it takes a week+ for us to land on a booking. Not everyone has the time to go through the wishlist. We’d love the wishlist to create a simpler overview with highlights so each friend can upvote or rank their top picks easily!

Social distancing works well when it’s rainy weather in SF. Perfect time to explore the neighborhood and spot a beautiful armadillo on 22nd and James street. #sanfrancisco

“It takes a lot of courage to trust your creative people.” Wonderful quote and more stories about embracing the ambiguity of the creative process at Pixar by @juniperlawrence that ultimately led to Toy Story and many more amazing animations.

[Business Insider @BusinessInsider]

Why Pixar has been so successful

Since it is the day of love, a retweet from my blogpost for @ideo on how love languages are also relevant in #design and #designstorytelling #ValentinesDay2020 #lovelanguages

[IDEO @ideo]

You may have heard of the 5 Love Languages, a tool to help characterize the ways we give and receive love. What if we applied these to design storytelling? @designtraces investigates: https://t.co/6Fc4SD23n1

[Marcelle Van Beusekom @DESIGNTRACES]

The never-ending definition of #design is increasingly moving toward a multidisciplinary approach. In my opening talk as emcee for #IDC2019CHI I provided insight into how we at @IDEO achieve our best work by building our teams with different perspectives. https://t.co/4IpyRKDLDH
